At the risk of serious damage to many male egos, the vast majority of vaginal nerves are concentrated within the first three inches. This is confirmed by surveys in which women with multiple partners in their sexual history responded that penis girth was a bigger “mover” than penis length.

Because of this vaginal nerve distribution, sexual e-stim can be quite effective with an electrode that is only two inches in length.

Most people think that electric current is something which is foreign to the human body. The truth is quite the opposite, due to the fact that our nervous system is “powered” by low voltage current. Sexual e-stim merely adds to the electrical nerve impulses which are already there.

For neophytes of prostate massage or milking, there is often a false expectation that prostatic fluid looks radically different from semen. Because two-thirds of semen IS prostatic fluid, it’s almost impossible to see a difference.

In e-stim, you don’t get any more basic than the sticky pad. They can occasionally cause skin irritation, but in the majority of instances, the pad itself should not be blamed. The real problem lies with how the pad is applied. The correct way is to simply pat the pad down onto the skin. Those who are uneducated on this point tend to stretch the pad onto the skin, very much like a band-aid would be applied. This creates skin tension, which is only made worse by the contractions which the pad induces during e-stim. The combination of the tension and the contractions causes the skin irritation.

One of the ironies of sexual e-stim lies with the gender enthusiasm imbalance among beginners. Men will generally jump in with both feet, while women tend to take a more tentative approach. The irony here is that women stand to have the more intense experience, because internal stimulation is almost always superior to external. Furthermore, considering that many women will be troubled with pelvic floor issues down the road, there is no better way to keep the pelvic floor strong, all the while enjoying the orgasms along the way!

A major paradox in sexual e-stim occurs with the perceived cues of the approaching orgasm. This impacts primarily men, along with women who consider their orgasm to be clitoral in nature.

Over our sexual career, we have learned the feelings of an approaching orgasm, to the point that we use those feelings to set expectations for the ongoing climax. The problem is that ordinary sex relies on friction for its results. With sexual e-stim, in the absence of friction, the same orgasmic cues simply do not apply.

Here’s the paradox: during a stim session, the more you focus on sensations from the glans (either penis or clitoris), the more you “push away” the orgasm. The proper mindset involves accepting the climax as a holistic event, with the triggering sensations being far more internal (and intense) in nature.

One of the ironies of sexual e-stim is that men who can no longer have an erection can have an even more enjoyable session than the men who are not erection-challenged. There’s an easy explanation: with no erection there is no retraction of the foreskin. Thus, when wearing a CurrentLoop, both the foreskin and the corona (the ridge behind the head of the penis) are being stimmed at the same time.

A question from a reader: Is it possible for Kegel exercises to create sexual arousal, or is this just my (dirty) imagination?

Anna and I are very much of the opinion that the major force behind good orgasms for either gender is the quality of the pelvic floor contractions. We believe this to be true for both ordinary sex and sexual e-stim. With Kegel exercises, you are inducing voluntary pelvic floor contractions, as opposed to reflexive contractions caused by sexual stimulation. Nonetheless, with many people, Kegel’s can foster sexual arousal of a stealth nature…we say stealth because there is no direct stimulation of sensory structures like the glans (either clitoral or penile). It’s just a guess on our part, but we think the rhythmic contractions of the Kegel’s probably trigger subconscious processes associated with sexual arousal.

Another reader question: After reading Currently Aroused, I get the impression that you are of the viewpoint that there are tremendous similarities between a man’s stim orgasm and a woman’s stim orgasm, much more so than there is in regular sex. Is my impression correct?

Congratulations! You have me pegged on your question. I do believe that with ordinary sex, the male orgasm has to be a different sensation from the female orgasm due to the unique genital structures of each sex, in combination with the varying degree to which friction directly stimulates the sensory structures. On the other hand, within the realm of sexual e-stim, I think that the female G-spot and the male prostate are analogous organs, and they both respond in quite similar fashion to e-stim.

To refine my thinking further, women who are G-spot oriented already know the feelings of a stim orgasm. In their case, stim only intensifies their orgasm. Males and women who have a clitoral orgasm see the biggest change in moving to a stim orgasm, because the focus of their orgasm is no longer on sensations from the penis or clitoris. Instead, the stim orgasm radiates from the woman’s G-spot and the male’s prostate.

At three paragraphs, does this still qualify as a quickie?

Today’s quickie is in response to several email requests to further elaborate on yesterday’s assertion that the stim orgasm has a different “center” for men and for women who have a clitoral orgasm.

For purposes of this discussion, a woman’s clitoral orgasm is defined as one that is produced by stimulation of the vulva (external genitalia) and possibly shallow stimulation of the vaginal entrance. With rare exception, the male orgasm is engendered by frictional stimulation of the glans penis, with some additional sensitivity provided in the foreskin and shaft.

In ordinary sex, the orgasm is perceived to radiate from these stimulation points. With sexual e-stim, there is neither friction nor physical manipulation of the genitalia, leaving the participant bereft of the traditional cues for an approaching orgasm. Upon making the necessary mental transition, a successful stim orgasm radiates from the pelvic floor. In women, that feels like a g-spot orgasm. In men, the orgasm is perceived to originate in the prostate. My ebook discusses the necessary psychology for a reliable stim orgasm.
